Run down, rotting bathroom, dirty & mouldy, terrible layout with bed right next to door, no kitchen essentials crappy tv and no Sky. Trains out back that blare there horn every time they go past and heavy traffic out the front. These have to be the worst motel rooms I've ever stayed in, they are literally that run down and...

Thank you for your comments. All motels undergo continual maintenance and upgrade the units when able. We may be dated, your opinion, but we take exception to your comments about cleanliness as we feel this is simply not so.
This is a motel, NOT A RETREAT, so our location and proximity to amenities is essential, as it is to any...

We stayed in a 2 Bedroom unit, 2 couples, it was very comfortable, George was very helpful with this as after trying to book on line a unit for 4 and ending up with 2 units priced accordingly he sorted us into a 2 bedroom saving us $, thank you George. The unit was very quiet clean wonderful shower and...

A "self-catering" unit - musty, dusty, dated and a bit neglected. There was a TV, hanging on a wire from a hook on the wall, next to the window (free-to-air channels only). An uncomfortable two-seater sofa with a loose cover that kept coming off. Nowhere to hang clothes. A motley (and minimal) fairly grubby-looking assortment of crockery, utensils, etc. We...

Reminiscent of tacky American motels I had the misfortune of experiencing in the 70's. Very tired, dated and in much need of a refresh. Stained duvet covers are never enticing. On the plus side the rooms was generally clean and tidy and the shower was strong and hot. It's just a pity the rotting wood around the base of shower...

We were to stop for 3 nights. The room we were allocated was musty, dated, had lots of flies and felt damp. Some of the crockery was chipped and the milk came in a small jug, not a sealed carton or 300ml bottle. We opted to move on and asked for a refund which we were given. We were able...

I will have been here 4 months when its time to go back to Canada. If your looking for fancy high end, don't come here you won't appreciate this place. This is a family, pet friendly location that is cozy, clean and peaceful, even when the train goes by. The hosts George and Hoya along with Sally are so nice...

Motel manager was very friendly.
Rooms are very dated and smelt musky. We found some of the dishes in the cupboard were dirty. No Internet (wifi) or main Sky channels available such as sports and movies and heated pool was cold. We felt the website was a bit misleading too.

We stopped over for one night so we could be close to fly out wellington the next day. Easy check in. On state highway one so expect a bit of traffic noise and also the train goes pass. The studio unit we stayed in was well presented with a great shower and comfortable bed. George greeted us in a professional...

This motel is absolutely disgusting and they should be ashamed.
We booked a ground floor apartm ent due to a recent hip replacement and got a second floor one. he rudely said he stated that when we booked but he most certainly did not. The rooms were missing curtains, holes in walls, missing light bulbs, no housekeeping during our stay,...

1. It is unfortunate that we could not give you a downstairs unit as these were pre-booked by people with dogs and kids who wanted access to the grassed area. What you did not mention was that I spent some time ringing people around the country to see if they would swap with you as it was obvious a man...

I have not had the greatest experience at AAA Mana Motel. The apartments are very dated for the price paid (compared to other motels/hotels around NZ) and a number of things in the room were not working. The manager was not helpful and after asking for one of the beds to be changed due to being quite worn out, he...
